200NL,, worst river in the deck

[yad]

200NL 6max. Villain is 33/28/4 over around 60 hands. Seems like a decent player, probably on the laggish side but not enough hands to tell for sure.

5-handed. Effective stacks $320.

I have 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB.

Preflop: fold, fold, villain raises to $8 on the button. SB folds, I call.

Flop ($17): 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I check, he bets $12, I make it $35. I should make it more, but I don't. He calls.

I will often lead this flop instead (I am never c/c on this board) but I decided that this isn't a great board for him to raise a lead with air on, and also that he is sometimes 3betting if he does have a flush draw or better.

Turn ($87): 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I lead for $65, he calls.

River ($217): 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I check, he pushes for $214 more, I fold.

Comments please.
